Cover art for Steel Rain lyrics by Chris Cornell

I think this song is about how perfect the world seems on the outside, but when your in the heat of its problems, everything comes falling down and its just overwhelming. Possibly even about war, (or it may just be a referance to intensify the meaning) but steel rain was a term used by iraqis during the persian gulf war. It was a type of artillary that broke apart into thousands of peices in the air, reffered to as "steel rain"
